Rally gearbox questions?
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so please take it easy on me !
My question is regarding gear boxes, and what I want to know is, what is the gear box that you would consider to be the gearbox that would give the 'purest driving' possible?
I'm talking about a gearbox that the driver has to do everything in (as opposed to sequential gearboxes and autos).
I have heard about synchromesh gear boxes and Dogboxes, but are there any further types of transmissions similar to these?
The reason for my question is that I want to put a gearbox into a rally car that will require me to do everything in the gear shifts (hence a 'pure' driving technique), but still be strong enough to with stand all the beating that it will take.
I have read that Dogboxes are good for this, but some sources say you can't change gear like in a synchro, where you lift off the throttle and use the clutch on shifting, but others say you should?
Also would a synchromesh gearbox not be suited to rallying?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Really waiting for rally Portugal to see Meeke's pace! Oliver will have proper challenge.. as Meeke smashed others.. yes, had puncture.. but still DOMINATED :D
